Been awhile since we’ve given ya an update. Things were a little quiet but are picking up again and rolling!! As y’all know, Cooter’s Place is gearing up for DukesFest June 4th/5th and The Confederate General Lee Fan Club is having their Dukes Day in Little Rock Arkansas starting today and going through tomorrow!
In the Arts department…
James Best has a new website dedicated to his artwork. You may recall that some of his paintings were featured in the Dukes of Hazzard episode “Dead and Alive”. Swing by and take a look at these gorgeous oil paintings at JamesBestArt.com.
Meanwhile, in movie news…..
THE DUKES MOVIE TRAILER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!!
We hear there’s a trailer for Dukes of Hazzard at Yahoo! Movies. Check it out!
And then check out some comments from HNet members. Nobody holds back in this joint, lemme tell ya.
In the Musical Notes and Nonsense department….
Also, for those of you who missed it the first time, they’re reissuing the Dukes of Hazzard album from the early 1980’s. It features Tom Wopat, John Schneider, Cathy Bach, Sorrell Booke, James Best, Johnny Cash, and Doug Kershaw.
Also given that Waylon’s original single release version of the DOH theme is used part of the back ground music for the trailer and the unwavering popularity of the DOH theme in general (heh!), we’ve noticed some folks asking about where they can get the theme song.
Well, if you want the one minute TV version of the theme song, your best bet is the paw through the “Soundtracks” or “Various Artists” or “Compliations” section of your favorite music store. The Dukes original TV theme can be found on “Television’s Greatest Hits, Vol. 6: Remote Control.” Along with the DOH theme there’s other great shows such as “The Fall Guy,” “Night Court,” CHiPs,” “Vega$,” “Knight Rider,” “MacGyver,” “BJ and the Bear,” “Hardcastle and McCormack” and bazillion other shows. The CD has a total of 65 theme songs from 70’s and 80’s tv shows.
Waylon Jennings’ single release (2 + minutes, the version you hear part of in the trailer) can be found on Rhino records “Tube Tunes Vol. 3: The 80’s” and also on “RCA Country Legends: Waylon Jennings“, which is an excellent two disc set featuring some of Waylon’s greatest hits.
And finally, in the pattin’-ourselves-on-the-back-department….
HAZZARDNET.COM GETS TOP BILLING IN YAHOO DIRECTORY FOR DOH WEBSITES!
Not only that, Yahoo defines the little sunglasses icon as follows….
“Sunglasses” are placed by our editors to indicate sites that are noteworthy resources in their subject area. Sunglasses are given to sites in non-commercial categories. We consider each site for sunglasses when reviewing it for placement in the Yahoo! Directory
How kewl is that? Khee!
Yes, we are humble enough to know that a pat on the back is about 18 inches from a kick in the pants. But we know that HNet would not be as successful and as big as it is if it wasn’t for all of you out there that visit and contribute. So we want to THANK YOU!! for your patronage. =)
